It applies to those lists which have a policy on HTML mail identical to that of the Fedora mailing list. This is not the same as "all lists." > Why? HTML is designed for web pages, not emails, and uses a lot more > bandwidth. This is a canard. Given most of the bandwidth is taken up by spam, the tiny fraction that you can save by shifting messages from HTML to raw text is utterly insignificant. It's a rounding error. > Many list members actually block HTML because it is used for > malicious code. By that logic I should block plain text emails, based on how many malicious emails I get in those formats. There are certainly reasons to avoid HTML email, but these reasons don't strike me as especially persuasive.
